    This happened in Berks County back in 2010, and the Apaches were from the PA National Guard in Fort Indiantown Gap. The reason for the high quality footage is that there just so happened to be a video production house nearby, so of course they jumped on it.

  • @HenryLoenwind

    It should be relatively trivial to take a control board that's designed for a 3D printer and reprogram it to drive those 2 steppers (or even all 3) in sync. There also would be inputs available for loop-size sensors, either microswitches with rollers or optical ones. However, this would require someone for whom programming those things is within their skill range... A side effect of this approach would be greater stability and faster speed. The latter because the controller could drive the motors at a variable speed instead of one that's dictated by how long the frame needs to be exposed. It could speed up for transport and pause for exposure. And that pausing could extend to all motors, providing greater stability as the picture is taken while all movement has ceased. It might be worth it to reach out to the 3D printer community; it's full of people who love these kinds of projects. That's how 3D printing at home started, after all...

  • @HenryLoenwind
    @HenryLoenwind Месяц назад

    For rigidity, there's one very simple trick: Put the plate under tension in the opposite direction it wants to flex from the weight you put onto it. That way, the unwanted flex has to work against the rod or wire you use to tension---but as those already are under tension, they won't move any more.

  • @HenryLoenwind
    @HenryLoenwind Месяц назад

    I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to only use the mechanism for precise transport but capture the film at another point in its path. With a tensioner in the intake path and running it over two simple side rails just before it enters the movements, it should be quite stable there, too. This wouldn't work at full speed, but at 1 fps...

  • @HenryLoenwind
    @HenryLoenwind Месяц назад

    It's interesting how you, with a movie background, immediately throw the images into video editing software. I, with more of a picture background, would have run them through batch processing in an image editor first, then sorted the images into folders by cut manually, and only then imported that into a video editor.
